The Punch Bowl in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A first class lunch at the Punch Bowl in Old market, Bristol today. This is the Jerk chicken salad. Wow factor presentation with flavours to match! A beautiful dish! Top marks to Chef Keith. At £12, a sensible price for an outstanding dish!

We were in Bristol for a gig on a Sunday. We were looking for somewhere to eat and happened upon the Punch Bowl. We had the Sunday lunch and chose the Pork Belly Draft. I can honestly say that it was up there with the best Sunday lunches I have ever had. The food was cooked perfectl and you can actually watch the Chef carve the meat. Beer was good, reasonable prices and the staff were excellent.

Nice ambience. Had to wait at bar to be served as food was being brought out. Ordered two veg risottos...waited an hour...but they were amazing!

Just have to say a huge round of applause for Amber and Kate behind the bar today. Nothing was too much trouble - Amber sorted the TV for the match we wanted to watch, brought our drinks out to us when the barrels needed changing, sorted the volume of the music and even charged one of our phones. And all with a smile! Thank you, you made our day 😁

As a Bristol lad who moved away, when visiting family thought we would go back to where we always loved to get a steak and chips. Was disappointed when told no longer sever steaks but was lucky to have the new chef (Ash) at bar in conversation with the manager. He was claimed they were updating the menu and asked what we were after. Being a group of brother and after meat he suggested a burger. He explained he would make sure we were happy. We were not really after a burger but the customer service by Ash and Nathan made us give a shot and we were far from disappointed. Ash suggested something he created crochets and they're 10/10, absolutely banging !! I would order them again and again as a starter. Both the chef Ash and the manger Nathan were top quality and we will be back whenever In the area! Thanks lads for turning a disappointing menu in a real banging meal!
